Climate Control Backlight, Ive read every forum for the past 2 days no concrete answer. Help. Options

[94celigts]

Just wondering if anyone has figured out the best option for backlighting the climate control, people have modified the base with a new led, people have just bought those neo wedge based led's, and some people have soldered thier own.

Has anyone tried this with a couple different options?

I want a nice looking blue for backlight, i already have blue led's installed for the buttons. How can i accomplish this? im not too worried about light dispersion as long as its semi close to being evenly lit.

Thanks guys.

i've tried this every way imaginable to make them easier to do and quicker... there is no shortcut that can produce the same results as an LED behind every light... it doesn't matter how you angle the LED's.. they just don't produce the same amount of ambient light as a light bulb... if you want it to look good, you can't shortcut it... ive even tried inverted top LED's, flat top LED's, wedge bulbs... the list goes on... the best is 3mm LED's behind every button that you want illuminated... ~30 LED's does the trick total (including on-indicator lights)
